It's been at least 10 years since someone new lyrically impressed me. Stopped looking a long time ago
People around 35 and older does anyone actually IMPRESS you on the mic anymore?

Im 32. Not sure the definition of "new" but Wale is already on my all'time list. Domo Genesis caught my attention. Kevin Gates did too. Cole impresses my lyrically but i cant say that im a big fan of his music. Overall i would say Wale.

I'm 32 I like Joyner Lucas that joint what the fukk is the name of that shyt I saw the video when he talking to the kid and it ain't his Happy Birthday or some shyt.
The only cats to impress me from this decade lyrically are Capital Steeze, Krit, Kendrick and Cyhi The Prince
and I'm also impressed with Drake and Azealia Banks song making ability.

Show me all these nikkas from the 90s making albums like TPAB and GKMC, you old dust heads 
.
Cats were impressed by all types of random cats and now everybody is wack
.
I want to say that most old heads opinions are irrelevant cause they are too old to easily learn new shyt, it's like clockwork. Cats that grew up on the 60s say that shyt, 70s, 80s, 90s and on. But the 90s cats are the only ones that are trying their hardest to force people to say that anything that came after is superwack. Sports, movies, music, clothes, the train, everything

The last were
Lupe
Krit
JoeyBada$$
and
Jay Electronica
I hate to say this but Azalea Banks wordplay is good but her songs are trash.
I like A$AP Rocky's flow
conceptually Kendrick (sounds like a washed up Andre 300) and Cole (sounds like a washed up ATCQ member), Freddy Gibbs (sounds like if Dr. Dre learned to rap) are good but it's been done before in the 90's

Joey picks good Freddie Joachim beats and A$AP has good beat selection. His flow got stale over diff production but was
status when it came out

I'm an old head , and there was loads of Wack shyt in the 90's. The problem is that looking back most only remember the good shyt. I will say this though, there was a higher quantity of quality being released back then.Show me all these nikkas from the 90s making albums like TPAB and GKMC, you old dust heads

The dope to Wack ratio was acceptable back then
Now it's flipped. For every dope rapper or song there is way more weak shyt.
I'm feeling Kendrick
I like Cole
I like lupe
I like Joey
For just music that I like , and songs.
Ive been feelin some
A$AP
French
Schoolboy Q
Wiz
I've been getting more in to Action Bronson lately he's cool
I try to be open about the music I listen to.
I'll be honest though, I've tried to get in to the whole young thug/future thing but i guess that ain't for me. I admit that I like some of it but for the most part nah.
But I was never a big Wayne fan like that
its not that its wack shyt these days, its more like, the sound has evolved and went over your head.
how can u expect a 35 year old to understand what a 21 year olds definition of dope is like?
i cant see myself being 40 and feelin the new shyt. im not even 25 yet and this new wave of lil yachty, uzi vert and thugger is really cool. really feelin alot of this shyt.

Conway The Machine has my ear at the moment.
Tired ass Death rap though
I seem to like Guilty Simpson more than everyone else. He's hilarious, witty and doesn't sound like a bisexual teenager.
Ka, Roc & Homeboy Sandman all still impress me. I can still marvel at good Raekwon stuff.
But mostly I just be playin Moke.
He says stuff like "I'm humble cuz I'm the best". That's more impressive to me than 'Mural' or any of those awful noises Kendrick makes.

I barely listen to Rap anymore when it used to be 75% of what I played. It's mostly due to subject matter. I can't relate to what these youngsters are saying anymore. I'm too old to turn up. Give me something laid back and jazzy.
